5 Spooky Things To Do In Dublin This Weekend

It’s that time of year again, the spooky season is upon us! The fun of Halloween doesn’t stop when you grow up, there are plenty of fun activities for all the family to enjoy in the capital this weekend. Here are just a few of our top picks…

The masters of imagination, Macnas, take to Henry Street this Monday, October 30th for the Bram Stoker festival. The organisation is hosting a Samhain parade which is both family-friendly and free – a win-win!

Another Bram Stoker event, this one with an older audience in mind – one of Ireland’s most popular comedians Al Porter will take to the stage in Number Twenty Two, South Anne Street to host a comedy show about none other than Dracula! The show is suitable for over 18s only and tickets are very affordable at just €22 per person.

3. Lemon & Spook at Lemon & Duke:

One of our favourite places to visit for food and drinks, Lemon & Duke on Upper Duke Lane, is hosting a night of music, cocktails and prizes this Bank Holiday Sunday! There will be a live DJ from 10.30PM until late for all of those fancying a boogie. plus prizes for the best fancy dress costume (in case you needed an excuse to dress up!).

If you’re free at 3.30PM tomorrow, you need to get yourselves to GPO Witness History for an evening with Samhain Seanchai, Philip Byrne, who will be telling you some spooky tales! This event is aimed at children aged 5 – 12, but they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Fancy dress is welcome, but places are limited so make sure to book online to ensure there is space for you and your little one(s)!

Finally, we know as well as anyone that bank holidays are made for chilling! If you want to enjoy something spooky from the comfort of your own home, or maybe you’re looking for the perfect hangover remedy after a mad Halloween-themed night out, then Camile Thai have just what you’re looking for. Our favourite Thai restaurant delivery service has only gone and introduced a limited edition Scarily Spicy Curry to get you into the spirit of Halloween. This dish is one of the hottest curries in the country, try it if you dare from all Camile outlets from now until Tuesday, October 31st.

We hope that above give you some ideas of what to get up to this Halloween weekend! Have your costumes at the ready and get ready to embrace all things scary!!
